Chapter 1145
Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort
âDo you think he heard us?â Bruce was concerned.
âI doubt so,â Bruce answered. âJamie isnât like Robbie. He isnât the kind to keep things in his heart.â
âThatâs true.â Bruce nodded. âWeâre heading back tonight, right? Let me give Mr. Spencer a call.â
âAlright.â
Then, Bruce went back to work as Ben stood guard by Zacharyâs door.
Jamie returned to his room and found two maids preparing his bath. He cleared his throat and said, âExcuse me, ladies, you may leave. I can wash up on my own.â
âWhatâs wrong? You love it when we bathe you,â the maids asked with a smile.
âIâm a grown-up now. I canât rely on you to bathe me all the timeâ¦â Jamie answered, embarrassed.
âHehe, are you embarrassed, Jamie?â one of the maids snickered.
âUrgh yes, I am. Quit it, youâre making me blush.â Jamie hid his face in his hands. âIâm hungry. Go make me something to eat while I take a bath.â
âAlright. Weâll do so right away.â
Jamieâs expression instantly changed as soon as the two maids left. He then called Robbie with his smartwatch.
âWhat is it, Jamie? Why are you calling at this hour?â Robbie asked in a sleepy voice.
âRobbie, I think Daddyâs sick,â Jamie choked. âI overheard Mr. Bruce and Mr. Ben persuading Daddy to seek treatmentâ¦â
âReally? Whatâs wrong with Daddy?â Robbie asked panickily.
âIâm not sure either. But I noticed heâs lost weight and doesnât seem as energetic as before.â Tears began to well up at the corner of Jamieâs eyes. âRobbie, what do we do? Is Daddy going to be okay? Iâm scared.â
âDonât panic, Jamie. You should find out what disease is it first,â Robbie said calmly. âPerhaps it could be a minor cold? Or heâs just upset because Mommy took Ellie and I with her when she left? Maybe thatâs why heâs in a bad mood?â
âBut he doesnât seem to have a cold. He isnât sneezing nor is he down with a feverâ¦â Jamie muttered.
âThen you need to find out what exactly is going on with him! Thatâs your latest mission! Find out what happened to Daddy and report back to me!â
âOkay, I will!â
âGood. Do you still remember what I taught you? Stay calm and donât panic in all situationsâ¦â
âYes, I do. Thatâs what I did just now. Hence, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Ben werenât suspicious of me.â
âGood. Stay calm, alright? Daddy has a strong and healthy body. Thus, itâs probably nothing serious even if heâs sick. But, you have to make sure and let me know, alright?â
âOkayâ¦â
Once they hung up, Jamie thought about Robbieâs word. He felt encouraged and was driven to find out the truth.
As for Robbie, he could longer go back to sleep after the call.
Robert came by with Louis to meet Mommy this morning. I believe they must have gotten what they came for judging from the smiles they had on their faces when they leftâ¦
However, Daddy is sick at such timesâ¦
What should I do?
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door as he was lost in his thoughts. It was Charlotte. âAre you awake, Robbie?â
Robbie quickly got up to open the door and saw Charlotte, fully dressed. âMommy, where are you going?â His heart dropped.
âI have to make a trip to the company.â Charlotte bent over and cupped his cheeks. âCan you play with Ellie once you wake up from your nap? Donât forget you have an online class at three oâclock, alright?â
âOkay.â Robbie nodded obediently. âI thought you didnât have to take care of the Lindberg Corporationâs business matters? Why do you have to go to the company now?â
âThereâs a press conference I have to attend to,â Charlotte answered briefly. âAnyways, I have to go now. Please be a good boy while Iâm away. If you need anything, go to Ms. Morgan or Mrs. Ramos.â
âMommyâ¦â Robbie tugged Charlotteâs sleeve. He knew what the press conference was about.
He didnât want Charlotte to attend the press conference. Yet, he loosened his grip around her sleeve when he was reminded of Zachary. âItâs nothing. Go on.â
